Random Fact about Christmas in Spain - #2





What do you expect to hear on the street corners at Christmas time?  Silver Bells or the Salvation Army bell?  Not in Spain.  On every corner you will find people asking you to buy a lottery ticket for the Christmas lottery - El Gordo (English translation - The Fat One).  This lottery has been going on since 1812.  The winning ticket will be drawn on December 22.
